the thread is unraveling as the rebels are unable to now launch attacks over and over inside damascus. two car bombs in the past two days. historically, these have been carried out by a former al-qaeda in iraq syndicate group using fighters who were trained in iraq to then bring their expertise into syria and fight this battle. it shows really how the rebels are now able to project power whereas president assad's forces are forced into a defensive position, and that's maybe one of the reasons they're starting to use those missiles against a number of rebel positions. the street-to-street fighting is also getting worse in and around damascus, in and around a number of the larger cities, and we are seeing rebels which are better armed, better equipped, more command and control. we're also, of course, seeing the rise in the number of foreign fighters and muslim extremists who have a common enemy in president bashar assad but certainly want very different things from the democratic movement that started this revolution in the beginning. on the diplomatic front, the head of nato recently s
